Rich Man, Poor etc.
-Last year, Income 140 mil. This year,
due to nefarious manipulators,
Income, 139. Thus I learn humility.
-That’s a lot of humility! One Million
Simoleons worth!
-Enormous!
-And I thought only the little guy
got fucked in Great America:
SILLY ME!Labels: America, finance, financial manipulation, poor, rich

Direct
Not that he was one for radical experiments,
but Ash revolted that Spring day.
Pale knot in front of his building, and crude sign:
FAMILY HASENT EATIN!
Up to his office, but has had Doorman Charlie bundle them
into his limo for a trip to the boatyard.
Now, Secretary Jeanine texts Hobart Grimsley there.
Sml yacht delv 2wks. Train this crew!
His old Captain back, of course, but woman
to handle galley. Man, bartender and
general mate. The one cockeyed girl
helping her mother. Other girl, waitress.
Just his business partner along for the
shakedown cruise. Nursing frosty gin and
tonics as afterglow slides silkily under.
“Gotta...be cutest waitress of all time!”
“Thinking of marrying her.”
“You’re some Libertarian! Fuck anybody!”

Philosophy, at its finest, in, therefore, dialog of sorts
-It’s gotten too involved with scratch-ass preachers,
so...what is the Republican Philosophy anyway?
-Leave us the fuck alone. We’re piling up money here
and don’t need no pansy regulations!
-Soft pedal that and you get the Democrats.
-Unfair! They WILL toss a bone to Poor and
Middle Class.
-Why do you never toss a bone in a roomful
of rapacious Republicans?
-That’s an entirely stupid question!
-I went to college.

Sustaining
Short Political Conversation
Buster, who has remained a Reagan Democrat,
thus Republican, seemingly out of inertia, asks
Lou, "Why are you a Democrat?
“With them, poor and middle class have
someWHAT of a chance. With the Republicans,
none.”
“Not a strong commitment.”
“Mostly against. You?”
“A to Z? Abortion.”
“And Z?”
“See A.”

Skin In the Game
The Poor line up to give a dollar to the Rich,
and are roundly congratulated. Real affection!
(Coffee and Danish had been suggested, but give
‘em an inch...)
Banker C Hogart Marilsohn said to no one, after
staying for the whole event, “Well, not so bad!
A whitewall for the antique Bentley.”

GOP Largesse to the Poor
They Probably WON'T Always Be With Us
-Can't have health insurance for all without subsidizing
poor people. Just can't be done, and that sticks in the
Republican craw.
-The bums'll go out and get sick for the benefits?
-Yeah, like the lazy bastards who'd rather collect unemployment
than work!
-That last according to Senator So and So, anyway.
-Takes one to know one.

Kitchen Privileges
The dirty t-shirt lifts his
eggs to smellier heights.
“Hey Mac! Like, don't fry them
to extinction. Give some-
body else a shot at the stove.”
Easy familiarity at these places
as you're informed to cool it.
Could be nut, someday.
Who stabs. One, perhaps,
you've cut in front before.
Nothing in their heads
but trash, and
they remember.
